Care Homes Owned by Gloucester Charities Trust

My husband has been using the Kimbrose Club, one day a week, for several weeks. He enjoys it and it gives me a break from 24/7 care. I can completely relax knowing he is happy and is getting all the care and attention he needs from lovely people.

I could not recommend Kimbrose enough. My Nan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Vascular dementia during Covid, and afterwards she wouldn't get out of bed all day which triggered her COPD. When Kimbrose day centre was recommended to us we were sceptical about leaving her for several hours, however it has completely changed our lives. Kimbrose was the place that got my Nan out of bed and gave her a purpose. The staff are always so lovely, chatting to us when we drop her off and making my Nan smile every day. I couldn't recommend Kimbrose enough, making every resident feel special and getting to know them individually truly makes a difference. Thank you Kimbrose for changing our lives.

Very caring staff and nothing is too much trouble. Mum used the day care centre for a couple of years before she passed away in March and although she had dementia she always came home cheerful. There was always a welcoming smile on arrival

I would recommend this care home to everyone.

Magdalen House is a truly exceptional care home; the staff are some of the kindest and most dedicated people you could ever hope to meet. They cared for my friend with compassion and dignity throughout his stay. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, the food was well balanced and of excellent quality, and a full activities schedule to keep everyone entertained. When you walk into Magdalen, it's like a hotel; it is always spotlessly clean, and a relaxed family feel to it. I was very lucky to have found this home and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who was considering moving into full time residential care.

I would highly recommend this service.

My mother was in Guild House for roughly 2 1/2 years towards the end, she passed away 1st Feb 2026 she was reliant on help for all tasks. Staff very attentive and coped with mums little foibles with patience and kindness. Although not mobile she was encouraged to attend the many events which she enjoyed taking part in. Encouraged through conversation to keep her mind active re: memories and family. She was always saying how happy she was there + being well looked after!! Thanks Guild House for your care.

The care my mother received was second to none and I cannot thank the manager and staff enough. Best of all were the daily activities that kept the residents occupied. No one is left vegetating in their rooms or dumped in a chair in a communal lounge unless that is their personal choice. Never in a million years did I expect to see my mother doing Tai Chi at the age of 90. Guild House be proud you are amazing!

My brother was so well looked after at Guild House. We had had a really bad experience at another home during his respite care and Guild house was like a haven. We really can't fault it. The staff were so caring and did everything, under very difficult circumstances, to make my brother's last few months as comfortable as possible.

Mum was well cared for. She particularly enjoyed the days out in the minibus. All staff were approachable, professional and caring. Living away from Gloucester, it was important to me that there was good communication between the staff and me.

I am very happy with the care that my Dad receives at Magdalen House. The staff are supportive, kind and caring. From day one, they have treated him with respect and made him feel welcome. They encourage him to participate in the organised activities, and capture his involvement by taking photographs. I am so pleased that he is able to enjoy himself at the care home. I visit regularly, so I see first hand how the staff interact with him and the other residents. They are friendly, patient and thoughtful. Magdalen House is very modern and feels like you are in a hotel! The communal areas as well as the bedrooms, are beautifully decorated and kept clean and tidy. Many family members have visited Dad in the care home, and they always comment on how lovely the decor is. I feel very fortunate to have found this wonderful care home for him, where he is safe and receiving great care.

Best decision I have made for along time!

Mum had been a resident at Guild House since 2018. She was extremely happy there and couldn't have been better cared for even if she was the Queen. As her dementia deteriorated every care was taken to cater for all of her needs and when she passed the staff also cared for us. An amazing group of people for which we will be forever grateful. Bless every one of them.

First time visiting the care home and the staff are absolutely beautiful and welcoming. The manager of the home also greeting me and introduced herself which I thought was lovely. Care staff made me a hot drink and offered snacks too. Overall. And beautiful and welcoming care home

I have found the Kimbrose Club to be a wonderful facility for my husband. The staff are cheerful, friendly, very caring and nothing is too much trouble. He attends at least two days per week and is kept fully occupied with suitable games, puzzles, art work and conversation. A freshly cooked two course lunch is provided together with frequent drinks and snacks. I am happy to leave my husband in such good hands knowing that he will be well cared for.

My parents first came to Guild House Residential Home for respite, following hospital stays. That had been having home care visits, but we're falling and not managing. The staff at the home made them feel safe and secure. They decided to stay. They particularly enjoy all the activities and outside entertainers that come in. My dad loves the home made food. All the staff treat my parents with dignity and respect. It is a great weight off my mind knowing that they are so well looked after. Thank you.

Magdalen House Residential Home is a lovely residential home with very caring staff. My parents had a double room and were very well cared for. Sadly Magdalen House decided to de-register as a nursing home and my parents had to leave. However we will always be grateful for the eight weeks or so, that my parents were able to enjoy going out on trips and being well cared for. The nurse that cared for my father was second to none and brought him back to health long enough to settle my mother into her new nursing home (St Faiths) which is exceptional.

My mum has been attending Kimbrose for years since she had been diagnosed with dementia. The staff are simply brilliant. So happy, supportive, caring and friendly. Kimbrose provide dementia-friendly activities that really benefit their users. I could not think of a better daycare centre for her to attend. Thank you all.

My wife seems at home at Guild House now, which is a comfort to me beyond measure. She is being looked after there far better than I could possibly hope to do so by myself at home, and I thoroughly recommend this care home to you.

I was very happy with the care that my mother received during her stay at Guild House. In particular, the last days of her life were dealt with kindness and sympathy and the support we received was exemplary.
